PREPARING FOR YOUR SUNLESS TAN WITH CASA SOLEIL

Spray tanning has become a popular alternative to traditional tanning methods, and for good reason. It offers a beautiful, natural-looking tan without the harmful effects of UV radiation.

However, if you've never had a spray tan before, it's important to know how to prepare your skin for the best possible results. In this blog post, we'll cover some tips for preparing for a spray tan.

Exfoliate

The first step in preparing for a spray tan is to exfoliate your skin. This helps to remove any dead skin cells that may be present, which can cause the tan to look uneven and patchy. You can use a gentle exfoliating scrub or a loofah to exfoliate your skin. Be sure to pay special attention to areas that are prone to dryness, such as your elbows, knees, and ankles.

Shave or Wax

If you're planning to shave or wax, it's important to do so at least 24 hours before your spray tan appointment. Shaving or waxing can leave your skin sensitive and can cause the spray tan to look patchy or streaky. Waiting at least 24 hours will give your skin time to heal and will help ensure a smooth, even tan.

Avoid Moisturizer

On the day of your spray tan appointment, it's important to avoid using any moisturizer, as this can create a barrier on your skin that may prevent the spray tan from adhering properly. It's best to avoid using any lotions or creams for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Wear Loose Clothing

After your spray tan, it's important to wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow the tan to develop properly. Tight clothing can rub against your skin and can cause the tan to rub off, resulting in a patchy or streaky appearance. It's best to wear loose-fitting clothing for a few hours after your spray tan.

Follow Post-Tan Care Instructions

Finally, it's important to follow our post-tan care instructions. This includes avoiding activities that can cause sweating, such as exercise or swimming, for at least 12 hours after your spray tan. It's also important to avoid showering or bathing for at least 6 hours after your spray tan.

In conclusion, preparing for a spray tan is important for achieving the best possible results. By exfoliating, shaving or waxing in advance, avoiding moisturizer on the day of your appointment, wearing loose clothing, and following post-tan care instructions, you can enjoy a beautiful, natural-looking tan without the harmful effects of UV radiation.
